Samsung Confirms Plan to Make Foldable Displays for Major American Company

[TVreporter]

I’ll wait for Gen 2. Not a knock against Apple or the Fold phone. I just prefer to wait for the kinks to be worked out.

Or the crease?

Eagerly waiting for Apple's first foldable. Will be interesting to hear all the rumors in the coming months. Think it will lack a telephoto lens. Waiting to hear more on the display aspect ratio.

If it is going to be thin, Touch ID might be more space efficient than the Face ID array. Samsung also has experience with under display fingerprint scanning and with Apple patents, I'm sure it will be better.

I think it will be more about ease od unlocking whether the phone is open or closed (otherwise you'd need faceid hardware for both inner and outer screens).
This would also confirm infolding screen with potentially an outer display.

Or the crease?

Been using fold 4 for over 3 years now and the crease has not honestly bothered. Its only new that you can get used to -- like the notch or island.

Touch ID

Doubt that very much.

TouchID integrated in the lock screen button like on the iPad Air seems plausible.

It’s the looking part.

I want the phone to be unlocked before I turn my attention to it. I want to unlock my phone without having to wave it in front of my face mid-conversation. On the somewhat rare occasion where I need to unlock it for [reasons] but not really pay attention to it, surreptitiously reaching in my pocket/reaching toward the cradle is better instead of grabbing it and waving it in my face.

Ahhh. Makes sense. Thanks for th info.
